FmGER-RING AND MOUNTING THEREFOR FOltGEMS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 4, 1919.

Application filed October 25, 1918. Serial No. 259,633.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERRY L. CAMBELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Douglas, in the county of Converse and State of Wyoming, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Finger- Rings and Mountings Therefor for Gems, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in finger rings and mountings therefor for gems, and has for its object to provide a mounting adapted for use with precious stones or in correct relation while the stone is firmly held against displacement and thus a minimum surface is disclosed, and accessibility for cleaning and the like is had, wherein the usufil holding prongs for gems are dispensed wit In the drawings Figure 1 is a side view of the improved- Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is an edge view of the ring.

In the present embodiment of the invention, the ring 1 which may be of any suitable or desired character carries a stone indicated at 2 which is connected to the ring by the mounting to be described.

This mounting consists of a pair of posts or standards 3, which extend from the ring parallel with each other and with a diameter of the ring. That is the lugs are neither tangential or radial, but if continued would cut the ring as secants.

A ring 4: is provided for engaging the stone, the said ring being formed from a narrow strip of precious metal, as for instance, gold or platinum. This strip is grooved on its inner face, a substantially V- shaped groove 5 being formed for receiving the junction between the bezel and pavilion, or girdle.

Since this girdle is V-shaped also, and the groove 5 is shaped to fit the girdle, it will be obvious that the gem will be firmly held by the ring 4 without any possibility of displacement. In addition, both the bezel and the pavilion are exposed to view for the greater portion of their extent, and they are accessible for cleaning and the like.

I claim A finger ring and mounting therefor for gems, comprising in combination a ring for encircling the gem having a substantially V- shaped groove on its inner face for receiving the girdle of the gem, and a pair only of posts connecting the holding ring with the finger ring, said posts 'being at opposite sides of the holding ring and being in the plane of the finger ring.
